50 Best Soup near West Hollywood

“THE BEST PHO 🍜 ever. I travel the country and I’m a good snob. This is home cooking, unique…and absolutely delicious. Please treat yourself and go!“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“One of the most iconic spots in Koreatown!
The soup arrives with customizable add-ins like green onions, red pepper paste, and minced garlic, letting you tweak the savory depth to perfection. Sides of banchan (kimchi, pickled radish) keep the table lively and flavorful.“

“Surawon tofu house is my favorite place ever. I haven't eaten something here that didn't blow my mind. Soontofu: FIRE BQ Slice Ribeye: FIRE Sides: FIRE
Barely Tea: FIRE Corvina: FIRE. The combo of tofu and an entree is incredible. And incredibly priced. I LOVE SURAWON TOFU HOOUUUSSEE“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“This place also has a long history in Koreatown. The food is impeccable.
The prices have gone up, but if you're craving dongchimi noodles and meat,
this is the place to go. The meat is all delicious, but the prices have gone up significantly compared to before, so you'll have to settle for beef tongue or Gilmok Gui. It's a place you'll return to for the taste.“

“I fear that sometimes, we all give high ratings to vegan restaurants, despite their being less than great, just to be encouraging for the team. This place, however, is legit amazing. Flavorful, fresh, and a wonderful, genuine bowl of noodles. If you’re on the fence, wondering about the authenticity of all of the glowing Redwhite Boneless reviews, I would just give it a try.“

“I should've just come here first.
The lobster quality is great with thick claw meat and a nice sized pickle. The tomato bisque isn't bad, but I'll try the clam chowder next time.

Good Lobster is hard to come by since COVID. On splurge days, this is a really good choice. The people are cool too.“

“Honestly… no notes

Hidden gem in busy ktown
The sides are generous and delicious
The mains are flavorful and hearty
What more could you ask for

I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten takeout here. Favorites include kimchi fried rice, kimchi stew, and their fishes, but all of them are hits

Highly recommend!“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“We had a wonderful experience here!! Service was 10/10 and they helped make my friend’s birthday memorable. The ramen is delicious - not too salty or oily or heavy, and the broth is super tasty. This establishment has a rich history; ask the servers!

Thank you to Mija, our server, for an amazing experience!“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“The stars aligned. We were overjoyed to find a BOB vegan restaurant, inspired by grandcestor Dr. Sebi's alkaline nutritional guide. Highly recommend Beyond Vegan - Culver City. The food was flavorful. My friend ordered the namesake quesadillas, and I ordered the jackfruit tacos with mango salsa. Double the flavor - we shared our meals. Yum! The portions were large, filling, and pleased my soul. What I thought to be a side of mashed sweet potatoes was warm, smooth mashed beans. Tacos and quesadillas on point. Purple wild rice was a delightful surprise. Diversity in texture, flavor, colors, and quality ingredients. No better way to catch up with a friend than eating outdoors at Beyond Vegan!“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“I had the cochinita pibil and poc choc and they had incredible flavor! The toughest part about this eating area is that all of the restaurants here are very tasty, but that being said I Super recommend Chichén Itza. I would definitely come back“

“Suehiro Mini review:

Suehiro Mini is a cozy, casual spot known for its authentic Japanese cuisine, especially sushi and ramen. The flavors are fresh and well-balanced, with generous portions. The staff is friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming vibe. It’s a great choice for a quick, satisfying meal with quality ingredients. Prices are reasonable, making it popular among locals and visitors alike.

If you want details on a particular dish or experience, let me know!“

“Original, wonderfully unique items, brought a random group of friends, and everybody loved everything, that is very rare.

They have something for everyone, and will make any of the items that are already available in other forms, such as items with me to they can replace with vegetarian options, or sandwiches presented as just salads without the bread.

Big slabs of salmon for those that enjoy“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“My Favorite Thai Restaurant. They serve authentic, freshly made Thai Food. Some of the entrees are not in a lot Of Thai Retairant like the Shrimp Paste Rice or the Stewed Leg Rice. Service is friendly and felt sincere. They also have premade Thai food that’s very authentic. This place is such an underrated hidden gem.“

“My mom and I have been to a lot of Korean restaurants in LA, and Jincook is far by one of the best we've had. The quality of their food is top-notch and service was great. Now I understand the hype!

We tried...
-Galbi Jjim Braised Beef Short Ribs were incredibly soft, tender and fall of the bone, sauce was very flavorful, slightly sweet from kobucha and spicy! Portion is huge that feeds 4 people. Add cheese to elevate the flavor even more.
-Marinated Dumplings - Slightly crispy on the outside and the meat filling was flavorful. So good!
-Souvide Porkbelly -OMG melt in your mouth porkbelly slices!! So amazing!
-Chicken Katsu Curry - Perfectly fried breaded chicken on a bed of white rice and curry sauce.

Service was welcoming and inviting and our server was patient with all the questions I had. Highly recommend this place.

TIP:
-Cheap parking at the end of the street“

“Had a great meal at Sun Nong Dan Sawtelle tonight. We ordered the #3 and #10 soups, and both were absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and super comforting. The portion sizes were incredibly generous, easily enough to share or take some home for later. Our server Moses was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Overall a really enjoyable experience with great food and great service. Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“I arrived last minute, feeling unwell and not in the best condition. Surprisingly, they didn’t turn anyone away who wanted a plate. It was genuinely the first time in a while that I felt truly cared for and ensured that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, was taken care of. To the hardworking cooks and chefs, and the dedicated servers, I want to express my deepest gratitude. All I wanted was a bowl of soup, but you went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a plate before they left, even as you were closing up shop. A special thank you to Almira and Jackie for their exceptional service.

I’m not one to leave reviews, but the family outside you served was happy, the full house inside was happy, and this girl with just a bowl of soup is happy. I genuinely believe that they deserve a raise. It’s time to have a conversation about it. Please make it happen. Thank you to the big bosses and owners for recognizing the hard work and dedication of your team. They truly deserve it.“

“No frlls. People say its a hole in the wall. Friendly and fast service. The parking lot attendant is friendly. Thei rSulLungTang is tasty and we get it a couple times a month. The panchan is minimal but the cabbage kimchi and Kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) are tasty.“

“Came in for the first time a few years ago because I was interested in the "twice-fried noodles" (tsuivan)... was instantly hooked. Everything here is just produced with so much attention to detail and served with such charisma. Highly recommend, also try the salted milk tea 😁😁“

“100% RECOMENDADO DELICIOSA TODA LA COMIDA ♥️“

“The food is great! I think when we got there a group of people walked in so it was a little slow for service. Parking was pretty easy and the atmosphere is just simple nothing fancy but the food is amazing I highly recommend and would go back!“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“I stayed at my friend’s place for five days while I was in LA. On the last day, I wanted to repay them a bit with a meal. It was a nice Korean place. I knew they wouldn’t let me pay, so I slipped out in the middle of the meal, gave my card to the waiter, and paid. I really thanked him for going along with it. The place was packed by noon. I can see why it’s popular.“

“Very great food and good service. Good decor and there is lots of parking outside. Only downside is the menu is only in Korean but just use google translate.

I like how peaceful it is. It gave me the time and quiet to finally think about the social economic state of the world right now. Food is fire.“

“OMG I loved the experience. Heaven bless this sweet, nostalgic restaurant. The Korean lady who served me was very friendly and caring, the atmosphere reminded me of family. I tried their breakfast with seaweed soup and the food was delicious. The side dishes are homemade and have many varieties. 100% recommend 💖“

“The place to go for delicious pork kbbq! I highly recommend the thick pork belly, marinated pork ribs, and the corn cheese. The pork marinade was flavorful and not as sweet as other kbbq places. They give a nice variety of side dishes which were really good with the pork belly.

The service was also top notch. Very attentive and friendly.“

“Rich Crab is AMAZING! Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The crab was incredibly delicious and sweet, and the monkfish stew was rich, spicy and comforting!!! And I have to say… their house kimchi is the best in the whole Koreatown. Highly recommend if you want fresh seafood and real Korean comfort food.“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Excellent, clean, attentive, friendly service. Definitely would go back.“

“Here’s a concise, polished review This takeout bossam delivers the kind of comfort and balance that makes the dish a Korean staple. The pork belly looks tender and cleanly sliced, with just enough fat to keep each bite rich without feeling heavy. The spread of banchan — crisp kimchi, bright pickles, seasoned greens, and spicy squid — brings the variety and punch you expect from a proper Korean meal, even in a to‑go container.

It’s the kind of takeout that feels thoughtfully prepared rather than thrown together, giving you all the flavors and textures of a sit‑down bossam experience right at home.“

“Glad Hurry Curry has reopened after closing their Sawtelle location. if you are new and don't know what to order, try the chicken cutlet curry and the Chicken pasta with Alfredo sauce. The curry is bold and savory. make sure to request picked vegetables for the curry. the chicken pasta is also rich and savory. both dishes complement each other without repeating the same experience. the portions are large so bring friends or bring home plenty of portions for leftovers.“

“🍖 Soy-Braised Beef Ribs
Big bowl with 4–5 huge ribs, super flavorful. Braised until fall-off-the-bone tender — honestly, you barely need to chew. Great portion for a family of three, and only $30.

🍲 Beef & Offal Soup with Noodles
Very generous with the beef. Rich, comforting broth that’s not too salty. Comes with noodles and is super warming — kids loved this one.

🥣 Hangover Soup
Went for the spicy version. Deep, comforting flavor, with tender pork. Very warming.

❤️ Most soups are just a little over $10 and come with rice and side dishes.

🦐 Marinated Raw Shrimp
A pleasant surprise — fresh, sweet, slightly reminiscent of Ningbo-style shrimp. Only $8.

✨ Nothing fancy, just solid, home-style dishes.
✨ Great value for money.“

“Great atmosfier, amazing food, unforgettable time with friends!!!$“

“Tina, the owner, is an amazing person and great Thai chef. I dined in her cozy restaurant and we had a great conversation. I absolutely loved my Penang chicken curry over rice! It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

“Yanina Nunez the manager is amazing, excellent service. She made me feel important by asking me how was the food? Is there anything we can do better? She also helped me carry my food since I walk with a cane and it’s hard to carry things! Thank you Yanina💕. I will be back. The food was delicious.“

“I stopped by for lunch on a weekday thinking it wouldn’t be too busy—but the place was already packed shortly after opening, with nearly every table filled and Korean being spoken all around. That’s always a good sign.

The space isn’t large, but it feels right: clean, tidy, and welcoming. You can tell the ingredients are fresh, and there’s a sense of care in how the food is prepared—something that goes beyond just flavor.

We ordered three dishes, all standout:

27. Maeun Deung-Galbi Jjim (Spicy Braised Beef Short Ribs)
The portion was generous—five large beef ribs served with pumpkin, rice cakes, and potatoes, all simmering together. The staff kindly offered to cut the ribs and pumpkin into bite-sized pieces, and they did it carefully, making everything easy to eat. The meat was fall-apart tender and well-seasoned, without being overly rich.
But the highlight: adding the melted cheese on top. Watching the cheese stretch over the ribs was worth it alone—so aromatic and satisfying. At $55, this pot easily feeds three people. Great value.

13. Wang Galbi Tang (Premium Beef Rib Soup)
The broth was clear yet deeply flavorful, clearly slow-simmered for hours. The beef rib was so tender it fell off the bone with a gentle nudge of the chopsticks. Comforting and wholesome.

8. Seok Uh Sulung Tang (Beef Tongue & Brisket Soup)
A milder, clean-tasting soup packed with thinly sliced beef brisket, cheek meat, knee cartilage, and glass noodles. The beef tongue was tender, and the cartilage had a nice chew. A dash of the provided black pepper and salt brightened the flavors perfectly.

We also tried the meat dumplings—thin skin filled with pork and chives, simple but well-made.

This isn’t a flashy spot, but the food feels sincere and hearty. If you appreciate honest, homestyle Korean cooking, this place deserves a visit.

Parking: street parking available, or $3–$4 valet in the plaza.“

“I rarely feel this compelled to glaze restaurants like this. This food cleansed my soul. Instead of water, you also get an herbal tea made with 8 different ingredients and it’s equally as nourishing. The owner is extremely kind and genuine, and made our experience homey, relaxing, and cleansing“

“조미료가 전혀 들어가지 않은 깔끔하고 맛있고 풍성한 음식은 한 사람 한 사람의 건강을 우선하는 주인의 따뜻한 마음까지 합하여 최고의 레스토랑으로 추천합니다!!!“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

“I want to share my heartfelt appreciation for Javon, whose kindness and dedication truly made our Thanksgiving event unforgettable. We hosted a gathering for more than 75 residents, and Olive Garden catered our meal. The food was wonderful, but we noticed one item was missing. I reached out, but with so much happening, I wasn’t able to follow up.

What happened next genuinely touched me: Javon arrived in person before the event even ended, carrying the missing item, a gift card, and a warm, sincere smile. It wasn’t just the fact that he fixed the mistake—it was the care, the thoughtfulness, and the effort he put into making things right. In the middle of a busy holiday week, he still made us a priority.

Because of him, the party flowed beautifully, and our residents enjoyed a truly special celebration. His gesture meant more than he probably realizes. The event was a success not only because of Olive Garden’s food, but because Javon went out of his way to ensure we were taken care of.

Thank you, Javon. Your compassion, professionalism, and heart made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful. 🙏❤️🍝“

““We have been coming to Thai Victory with our whole family — my husband and our children — for the past two years 😊 We absolutely love this place, especially the Tom Yum and Pad Thai 🍜🔥 We have been living in America for three years and have tried Thai food in many places, but this is the only place we truly enjoyed.
We would also like to highlight the service: very kind and pleasant people ❤️ We met a young family who work there and are the owners of the restaurant. They always treat us with warmth and care, and we are very happy to have met such wonderful people 🙏 We sincerely recommend this place from the bottom of our hearts 💛”“

“Today I went to eat with my friend and I liked the food and I’m happy to see that they changed their staff since previously the other boy had a terrible attitude to serve customers but today I left very satisfied to see that they served me very well“
